It’s no secret that hair loss can negatively impact your self-esteem. There are various degrees of hair loss in men and women, however, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy provides non-surgical ways to reduce and reverse hair loss. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a three-step treatment that promotes natural hair growth in the scalp through the use of platelet-rich plasma from your blood. The use of PRP therapy for muscle and tendon injuries has been around for decades, while its cosmetic applications offer high satisfaction to patients with alopecia.
What is PRP treatment?
In recent years, PRP therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma) has gained traction as the trendiest way to treat hair loss and regrowth. It is becoming more and more common to use PRP therapy to treat women’s and men’s hair loss, and is proving to be very effective when done correctly.
Having been around since the 1980s, PRP therapy is only being used now to treat certain types of alopecia. The procedure has been cited as having great results, and its popularity is growing.
It’s an alternative to surgery that uses the stem cells from a patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth from miniaturized or resting hair follicles.
It is called Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, because it contains a higher density of platelets. The success of any PRP procedure is dependent on a concentration of three to five times more platelets in this area. Platelet poor plasma or PPP is usually drawn out of the tube and thrown away; or sometimes saved for microneedling after PRP injections.
This procedure is often aided by using a cell matrix or by adding microneedling to the PRP.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment is mostly used to promote hair growth and usually requires a series of treatments over a period of 3 to 6 months before it begins to show results. Consult with Dr.J to find out what type of treatment you will receive. Before you start treatment, you should speak with Dr.J doctor and view his or her before and after photos.
The use of PRP in hair transplant surgery can accelerate the recovery process following surgery. In some hair restoration procedures, a patient’s PRP may be rubbed on the individual hair transplant grafts prior to placing them into the patient’s scalp. Potentially, healing may be improved and a better outcome could be attained.
Does PRP Hair Loss Treatment work?
Most of our patients feel skeptical at first because they have tried other treatments and have not achieved satisfactory results. A platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is derived from your blood, and stimulates cells within the hair follicle in order to promote hair growth.
In addition to enhancing regeneration, platelet-rich plasma promotes the growth of new, healthy cells. PRP hair restoration is commonly chosen by patients who have undergone hair transplantation because it stimulates implanted and inactive hair follicles.
Alopecia (thin hair) and hair loss (alopecia) are two common reasons why men and women get PRP hair regrowth. It’s a great alternative for people who don’t want to wear wigs, toupees or hair transplants. By stimulating hair growth, it reduces the signs of aging.
Protection of PRP
It is considered very safe to use PRP on the scalp and for hair loss due to:
- PRP therapy is immune-neutral and doesn’t pose allergic, hypersensitive, or foreign-body risks.
- The preparation and application of PRP must be done in sterile conditions. PRP is great for patients who have underlying health problems that make them prone to infection.
- There’s very little inflammation at the site of wounds with PRP, so it’s less likely to be injected.
FDA approval isn’t needed for PRP, but in the US, the device that prepares it must be approved. Currently, PRP has not been approved for use in hair restoration by the FDA.
In addition to hair restoration, PRP is also used on its own to provide great results. Injected into the scalp with thin needles, PRP is injected from a patient’s own blood. After this, blood cells release growth factors, which trigger the growth of hair. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment. Ultimately, this treatment will lead to fuller and healthier-looking hair.
PRP treatments can be painful and uncomfortable at times, so topical anesthetics or cooling sprays are usually applied. After a PRP procedure, you can return to work the next day without any visible signs of the procedure.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Restoration
PRP is brilliant because it is so simple to trigger new hair growth. The procedure doesn’t take too long, and because the PRP comes from your own body, there’s almost no risk of a reaction to the stimulation of new growth stages for your hair follicles.
In addition to reversing hair follicle shrinkage, PRP reduces the process of miniaturization, which is how hair follicles stop growing. Neither men nor women can benefit from PRP, but the results will look more organic because the process produces gradual results.
PRP is one of the key components of our new solution to hair loss. We can now prevent balding at 20 and any age by treating the underlying causes of thinning hair without having to undergo a hair transplant.
Expected Result
Three to four months of PRP treatments should be performed monthly. Patients may be brought back to the practitioner three to six months after the initial treatment plan.
Obviously, results vary from one patient to another. However, several patients have seen positive results (including less hair on their floors after combing) within a month.
The whole process will be performed at our NuGrow clinic, so you must be confident that Dr.J and his certified dermatologists’ team will keep your best interests at heart during the entire process.
